Protozoa card / Простейшая открытка

Homyachok challenge has already announced a new quilling challenge, and I'm pretty late with explaining and showing off my creation as a designer.
Challenge: White quilling strips on colored background.
First of all I thought about some creative lettering (like that white on white tried years ago), then I thought of some interesting evolution, like showing the way of turning a brick into a butterfly... I tried this and that, but nothing seemed satisfactory.
And then I saw our wonderful team member's creation, Svetlana Belova made a STUNNING work: look here. Absolutely unbelievable, it totally blew my mind off... and my inspiration too. I undrestood that I'm unable, I can't make anything better or at least as nice as that... So I wanted to quit... but settled up creating something "different", NOT beautiful, but funny or amusing.

And the main char, Sheldon the Plankton from the SpongeBob cartoon. Had absolutely no idea of him until Goggle showed me his portrait in image results when I was looking the the pictures of real beings to use them as quilling patterns.

I also made a watercolored background, doddled the "rich" background for the guy (that's a hand made DEbossed pattern, tinted with pencils after the debossing process), the sentiment is cut with my CraftRobo, and I glued the quilled rolls underneath using Sandra White's technique. Sheldon is printed, fussy cut, has his imperial mantle, brad-crown.
